Shop Handmade - Lilly Bee

My on-line shop is named after my grandchildren. You can see my lovely products here!

In this photo, taken in my studio, I am making a Valentine tablerunner. I love to sew on my antique Singer machine, though I also have a wonderful Bernina!

Peaceful pastel

A quilt top, twin size, on the rail of our deck. It was inspired by the "Fengshui" pattern from

Hancock's will have a batting sale Sept. 17th. So I will stock up and be ready. I am sewing a backing now...fun!

Simply Delicious

From several years back....an applique pattern was much loved!
This is a quilt called "Simply Delicious" by "Piece 'O Cake" quilt designers.

I was going through a closet in the studio yesterday and found this bag.

Inside are two completed blocks from the quilt, the pears and the apples. I plan to make 2 more, the plums and the peaches. Luckily, the patterns are still available and can be downloaded (for $3.00) each from here !

Red Sky at Night

This is a scrappy quilt which I am teaching the beginning quilters this month.

The pattern, "Red Sky at Night" is a "BIRDS IN THE AIR" variation and is in the July 2007 issue of Fons and Porter's "Love of Quilting" magazine. It is a wonderful design to use some of my stash of 1980's Ginny Beyer fabrics and VIP Cranston Print works!

Great Nieces and Nephews Need Quilts Too!

These are quilts for children. 2 "boy" quilts and 2 "girl" quilts.
The boys are brothers who live in Colorado.




The girls are sisters who live in New Zealand.

I used Kaffe Fassett and other florals for the little girls and fabrics with a Western feel for the brothers.

Luke's quilt

I received this card from my friend, Barbara. It shows her grandson, Luke, examining his quilt,... after exclaiming "Wow!"
It is a bright little boy's quilt with fabrics featuring cartoon characters and Oriental calligraphy! Here is Luke, a very happy little toddler!
